Li Adorno
Inicio muy joven a organizar jóvenes DACA y es uno de los fundadores de movimiento COSECHA.
Este red de movilización comunitaria ha hecho posible que el tema de las licencias sea importante en varios estados. “El comandante LI como se le conoce en la comunidad es un ejemplo para muchos Mexicanos de que nada se logra sin acción de los oprimidos” dijo Teresa Vivar quien hoy lo nomina como Héroe Migrante. A los 7 años, Li emigró de México a Estados Unidos y encontró un hogar en Nueva Jersey.
En septiembre de 2017, Li fue arrestado en Trump Tower NYC, participando en la desobediencia civil cuando la Administración Trump rescindió el programa federal conocido como DACA. Li ha caminado desde la ciudad de Nueva York a Washington DC, y formó parte del #DREAM7, un grupo de activistas indocumentados que organizaron una huelga de cárcel y hambre durante una semana, en apoyo a los dreamers.
Durante la pandemia del coronavirus se activo junto a sus compañeros y compañeras para recaudar fondos de ayuda económica a familias indocumentadas.
Li started to organise DACA youngsters when he was very young himself. He is one of the founders of the COSECHA organization, a network that mobilises communities of migrants, and that amongst other things has made possible the issuance of driving licenses in several states, regardless of immigration status.
“Commander Li -as he is known amongst his colleagues- is a flagship example for lots of Mexicans, so that people know that nothing is achieved without the actions of the oppressed”, said Teresa Vivar, who nominated Li as our #MigrantHero. Li came to the U.S from Mexico when he was just 7 and found his place in New Jersey.
On September 2017 he was arrested for civil disobedience while protesting against the decision of the Trump administration to abolish the DACA program. He walked from New York to Washington, D.C. as a sign of protest and was part of #DREAM7, a group of undocumented activists that organised a hunger strike during a week, as a sign of support for the DREAMERS. During the COVID-19 pandemic he jumpstarted with some of his colleagues, an effort to raise funds to help undocumented families impacted by the coronavirus.
